10 teenage boys allegedly gang rape 13 year old girl in Sukhothai
balo replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
Thai boys out of control, unfortunately there will be not much of a penalty here, as they are underage. The family has to pay money to the victims family and that is probably the end of it. -
Drug dealing in Thailand is a very stupid thing to do. He knew the risks. Hope he can afford to bribe himself out.

I have no problems with it, whatever makes you feel younger. Maybe I will dye my hair pink just for fun if I reach 90.... But you need hair to make it happen.

My guess is drugs of some sort

Dramatic Visa Fee Increases being reported
balo replied to mania's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think you can avoid the high fees by using an agent in Thailand. -
I bought a unit in 2013 and sold it with a small profit a couple of years later, the rental price was around 8 to 10k at the time + utility bills. Plenty of units for rent today, I don't know the issues with damp, but maybe maintenance are going down . They used to be good.

I owned it, I paid 1.3 million baht pre construction back in 2013 and sold it for 1.6 mill a few years later. I was lucky to get my money back before the condo market collapsed. I rented it out for 10 k month + utility bills. And in Paradise Park the rent now is as low as 8k if you ask at the property. My example was to show you that you can get so called Western standard for a low price, with 24 hr security , pool and a gym for around 10k , plenty of condos around the area. I would never consider to buy again, only rent for me the next 20 years, it's too cheap.

There are many around and you can just go to Facebook and ask the several agents about long term rent for 10k-12k, pretty new 1 br condos with pool and a gym. Since this thread is about buying and not renting I think we should leave it at that. But since you asked, I lived in Paradise Park, Jomtien , 34 sqm is not a big condo but it was modern and new, as the pictures show. I loved it, especially the pool was amazing.

I prefer quality, the German sourdough bread is the best if you can find it. Das BackHaus is still open I believe https://www.facebook.com/DasBackhausBakery/

Elderly Swiss cyclist killed in hit-and-run in Sattahip district

I did a lot of bicycling along beach road, but I would never take my chances at the main roads. Especially at night. -
Nothing helps the OP, he wants to buy.

Moroccan arrested for murder of Austrian DJ on Koh Pha-ngan

I used my Thai DL in Vegas , at the casinos some years ago. Instead of my EU passport. They were a bit sceptical, but it worked.
-
Exactly, and still people want to buy. For 10k/month you get a lot of value if you spend some time to pick the right location and building. And then when you do not like the location anymore, due to noise or other things, you just move, simple as that.

Locals rally to clean up messy situation for Thai-Scottish family in Pattaya
balo replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Mentally ill for sure. The boys need help! -
We can speculate all we want but the accident happened at 5 AM in the morning. Wrong time to be out on the roads with a bike, especially if you are a foreigner. Maybe he was intoxicated, maybe not, but some people do not think about the consequences. RIP.

Unruly British man goes berserk on Bangkok-London flight (video)
balo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They should test all passengers for drugs before they are allowed on the flight, that would teach them a lesson. But I do not understand why the plane did not return to Bangkok when the fight started early just after takeoff?
